Chapter 42: An Old Man with a Lost Personality

Karp, who appeared in front of Ian, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and wore a navy coat behind his back, it seemed that the officers of the Navy Headquarters at the rank of colonel liked to wear the coat as a cloak.

Karp was wearing his trademark dog-headed hat on his head, a few strands of messy gray-white hair were exposed under the hat, and there was a scar at the corner of his left eyebrow, but the whole person didn't look vicious, he grinned, a neat tooth shining, although he stood in front of Ian, his eyes were looking at the king of the near sea not far away, and said: "This seems to be a sea beast only in the East China Sea, I don't know what it tastes like?" ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly slapped his right fist into the palm of his left hand and said to Ian, "Why don't we have a barbecue banquet?" ”

"......" Ian was still shocked by his appearance, and when he suddenly heard such a sentence, he didn't know how to react.

Colonel Schroeder next to him also looked helpless: "Lieutenant General, please be decent!" ”

"Aha, just kidding, kidding!" Karp touching his dog's head (cap?) ), laughed, "And it looks like that guy has no meat to eat......"

The joke is fake, the latter sentence is true, right? Ian spit out to himself speechlessly.

Only then did Karp ask Ian, "Boy, who are you?" What is your name? ”

"I'm Ian, a pirate hunter!" Ian said, "Thank you for saving me!" ”

He now knew why he only heard the sound of cannonballs flying before, but not the sound of cannons firing, it was definitely done by Karp, a monster old man, the kind of method of throwing cannonballs by hand, no one except him could use it.

"You went to sea alone?" Karp asked curiously, "How did you meet this guy?" ”

This guy naturally refers to the King of the Near Sea, and Ian also felt helpless after hearing it, and he didn't want to, so he had to tell Karp what happened.

As a result, when the old man Karp heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, and tears came out of his eyes.

Colonel Schroeder covered his forehead next to him and said, "Lieutenant General, please be decent!" ”

After Karp had laughed enough, he patted Ian on the shoulder and said, "Boy, you underestimate the ocean too much, the East China Sea has already been calculated, if it is on the great route, there are worse things than this, this sea is very harsh to humans!" ”

"So......" Karp said to Ian, "let's be a navy!" ”

"......" Ian doesn't know how to complain, the sea is very harsh on humans, and this has something to do with being a navy!

This way of pulling people into the gang is too blunt, right!?

Colonel Schroeder continued to cover his face next to him: "Lieutenant General, please be decent!" ”

"Fart! What should a man be in the navy when he goes to sea? Karp glared at Schroeder.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Schroeder reluctantly gave up arguing with him.

Ian has seen Karp's character, and sure enough, it is as out of line as rumored, and it is difficult for normal people to keep up with his thinking.

Shaking his head, Ian said, "I need money, so I can only be a pirate hunter for the time being!" ”

"Boy, what do you want money for?" Karp asked curiously, "The Navy is also paid!" ”

"I want at least billions of Baileys, how many years can I earn this amount in the Navy's salary?" Ian asked rhetorically, spreading his hands.

Karp's eyes almost popped out: "What do you want so much money for?" ”

"Save people, buy Devil Fruits!" Ian thought about it and told half the truth, in fact, he also knew that buying devil fruits or something in the black market was still a bit unreliable, but this excuse was very good, after all, his system needed to consume a lot of money, and he could use this excuse to cover it up.

After hearing this, Karp asked Schroeder, "Are pirate hunters very profitable?" ”

"If you have the strength, it is!" Schroeder nodded: "But the risk is also very high, if you are targeted by sea pirates, it is very dangerous." ”

Karp thought for a long time, and suddenly slapped his palms and said, "Ah! Why don't we go as pirate hunters! I'm not afraid of being targeted by pirates! ”

At this moment, not only Schroeder, but also the entire naval soldiers on the ship who were standing aside and listening all spoke in unison: "Lieutenant General! Please don't make such jokes! ”

It seems that Karp's off-line personality has caused his soldiers to suffer greatly......

"If you don't do it, you won't do it, why are you yelling at me so loudly?" Karp plucked his ears with his little finger in frustration, turned to Ian and said, "From the moment you got on the boat just now, I felt that your hat was so familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere!" ”

He sat on the deck, crossed his legs and chin and said, "Uh-huh, where have you seen it?" Let me think about it! ”

After saying that, he ignored Ian and thought there with a frown.

A boatload of people was silent, waiting for him to remember, and Ian turned his head to look around, not knowing how to describe the strange picture.

After a while, Karp suddenly slapped his palm, and just when Ian and the ships full of sailors thought he had thought of it, he heard Karp say, "Ah! I can't think of it! Forget it, don't want to, boy, do you want tea? ”

Ian fell headlong on the deck!

When he looked up, he saw that Karp had magically found a tea set out of nowhere, and had already started to make tea leisurely.

He actually came for real!

Turning his head, Ian looked at Colonel Schroeder with a sympathetic expression: With such a boss, you guess it's usually very hard, right?

Schroeder nodded helplessly: Do you need to say that?

While the two exchanged words with their eyes in an instant, Karp had even found a plate of pancakes and asked Ian, "By the way, do you eat pancakes?" I love pancakes the most! ”

Looking at Karp's expression of wanting someone to drink tea and eat pancakes with him, Ian really didn't know how to refuse, so he had to sit down and drink tea with Karp.

When he was in the Frost Moon Village Yishin Dojo, Ian also often drank tea with Master Koshiro, but Master Koshiro was more traditional, and his tea ceremony sometimes had more rules, unlike Karp, who just took a teacup and brewed it out, but I don't know why, Ian felt more comfortable drinking Karp's tea instead.

It's not because Karp's tea is good, even if his personality is more off-line, but Ian still thinks that this old man is very kind, although he is a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters, but in front of his own little person, he didn't think about maintaining the majesty of a vice admiral at all, but like an old man next door, he didn't make Ian feel restrained.

In other words, it's close to the people! Yes, that's probably Karp's unique style.

Drinking tea, Ian saw that Karp actually crossed his arms again and began to ponder, I don't know what he thought of again, and he didn't want to ask, so he could only continue to drink silently, anyway, after staying at sea for a long time, he was also thirsty.

Then after a while, Karp spoke, and he touched his chin and asked Ian, "Boy, you just said you were a pirate hunter?" ”

Ian nodded and said, "yes, didn't you say it just now?" ”

"If you can kill such a big sea beast, you should be very strong, right?" As he said this, Karp suddenly pointed at Ian, turned his head to Schroeder on the side and said, "Beat him!" ”

"Poof!" Ian happened to take a sip of tea, and as soon as he heard this, he sprayed it directly on Karp's face, and said in surprise: "What are you talking about!? ”

However, before Ian could recover from his surprise, Schroeder on the side had already pounced, and he kicked sideways, and his swift foot force kicked Ian directly in the face!

Rumble! Ian was kicked out directly by this kick and hit the bulkhead of the warship, causing cracks to appear in the bulkhead of the ship, which shows how powerful this kick is!

Getting up, Ian only felt that the left side of his face was numb, and there was a smell of blood in his mouth, probably bleeding.

He looked at Schroeder with a gloomy face, and he didn't expect Schroeder to say that he would do it.

Don't look at the soldiers under Karp's subordinates often complain about Karp's off-line character, in fact, they respect Lieutenant General Karp very much, as soon as they heard Karp's order, even if Ian was still drinking tea with Karp as a guest a second ago, Schroeder moved his hand but did not hesitate at all, and after seeing Ian get up, Schroeder continued to rush towards Ian.

Ian took out the long knife behind his back and also faced Schroeder, although he didn't know why Karp would order someone to beat him, but it was not Ian's style to just be beaten and not fight back.

In the passive exploration of the evil eye master's skill, the aura on the old man Karp exudes a rich crimson, which is not something he can win at a glance, and although Schroeder is also red, the color of the aura is much lighter, and Ian also wants to try what kind of level this kind of enemy who threatens him is, so he burst out with his maximum speed as soon as he came up.

Just in an instant, both of them rushed to the distance where they could shoot, and Ian swung his blade violently, and instantly slashed at Schroder!

And Schroeder suddenly saw the power of Ian's move, his body suddenly stopped, his fists clenched, and he stood on the spot with a horse step.

"Iron!!"

With Schroeder's roar, Ian's knife also slashed at Schroeder, after all, this is a naval ship, if Ian kills Schroeder, he can't leave, so Ian is cut with a blade, and he didn't attack Schroeder's vital point.

However, after his knife slashed at Schroeder, there was a clanging sound, accompanied by a repulsive force, and there was no feeling of slashing at the human body at all.

When I turned my head, I found that Schroeder didn't have any except for his clothes being torn a little!

"Aha!" Karp wiped the tea sprayed on his face at this time, and couldn't help laughing again: "Boy, don't underestimate Schroeder, he is my direct intelligence officer!" Colonel from CP5, you'd better be careful when fighting him! ”

Iron? Navy Type Six? Ian looked at Schroeder in some surprise, the sound of metal colliding just now...... Could it be that the iron in these six forms can really make the body look like steel?
